Raga, che dire. 
è Agathona, impossibile dare un voto basso. 

Tutto costruito magistralmente come al solito, anche se forse questa volta la risoluzione, con un pizzico di malizia e attenzione in più, era alla portata del lettore medio (io, io sono il lettore medio). 
L'aver intuito la conclusione - o plot twist, se vogliamo chiamarlo così - non ha però inficiato sulla qualità della lettura: il romanzo era comunque intriso del sapere della buona Christie, con indizi e false piste ben disseminati, personaggi introdotti come diversivo ed elementi chiave difficili da individuare. E quello specchio? Di che specchio si parla, se nella scena madre - anzi, in tutto il libro! - non appare alcuna superficie riflettente? Il mistero continua anche nel titolo, ben scelto nella versione italiana, tanto quando in quella originale.
Non me ne vorranno gli amanti del buon Poirot (io, del resto, sono una di voi!), ma questa volta la dolce Jane Marple ha proprio colpito nel segno.

Consigliato!

i did like this very much (oh, the characters in this!! cherry especially, and marina, and mr. rodd (their relationship!!? bloody hell!) and the fussing pussy and miss marple, too) but somehow i am not sure about quite some things, still, which usually doesn't happen to me with christie's novels. did heather's murderer kill giovanni and ella, too? why would they, they don't seem ruthless? why did ella call the wrong person? also, heather's husband also being marina's first husband just seemed very unlikely and very unnecessary. but the mystery was so well thought out and perfectly constructed, and the solution was so natural and had incredible emotional impact.
